I was born with an ear on my penis and I can always hear myself coming.

That translated to 1.4 times higher odds of at least one major birth defect, including genital, digestive, urinary, and heart defects, after adjustments for paternal age and other factors.

Interesting. The numbers are still low however.

And I just found out what hypospadias is.

Statistically significant though. I wonder what other effects it has had.

Not sure what to take with the low chances and Metformin typically having many benefits.

If you're of reproductive age and diabetic already, don't reproduce. Simple as. Weak genes should be pruned.
